Bras for radiotherapy

Thanks for all the suggestions! I have really sensitive skin and can’t use E45 but seen that aveeno is a good substitute? Will try and get the aloe Vera gel. Using pads and liners a great idea as I’d probably react to dressings ! I have some Tenna! Wonder if those would work !  

Debenhams has gone online ? I’ll have a look at the bras you mentioned. 
great that you are Neddy! Long may that continue !

Hi  it was R1 and R2 as available at the time but I'm sure a good moisturiser will be just as good. Don't worry you will be okay, its not too bad  

Hi

I wore a non-wired bra after my lumpectomy but found it uncomfortable. Bought M&S seamless crop tops which are very comfortable and don’t rub, I haven’t worn a normal bra for weeks. The tops come in a pack of three for £18, sizes S-2XL and various colours. 

Thankyou for replying x I’ll have a look on M& S site x x x 

If you hit a dead end and are close to Swansea I have two you can try I think!! I'm sure I saw them in a dark part of a cupboard when clearing stuff out.

Hi

I  had radiotherapy 9 yrs ago, and again earlier this year.  The first time, I wore normal bra but I did get a bit sore under the boob.  I used panty liners to help pad the tighter bit underneath (although, normally, bra comfortable)

However, this year I decided to try crop tops and I found them SO comfortable and I didn't get sore at all.  I appreciate the 'zapping' was likely to be slightly different angle so maybe I wouldn't have got sore anyway but I really did feel they helped, to be honest.

I got mine from Matalan, but supermarkets and lingerie shops, plus M&S, will have them.  I found different shops had different fittings and, for me, the Matalan ones suited me best.

Having said that, I only have reasonably small 'ish boobs so yourself, being bigger cup size, would not necessarily feel more comfortable

Certain panty liners helped a lot 

Wishing you well for the rest of your treatment

Thankyou for your good wishes . I’ve gone online and ordered some of the bras and cropped tops mentioned in posts from Debenhams ( yes they are online!) and M&S,  in different sizes so hope something fits ! I’ll try matalan if these no good  

Just read profile. So good you managed the arms above head and got the radiotherapy done ! Hope you have sorted out meds that don’t affect you as much x you’ve had to put up with such a lot of extra delay and stress … hope you are feeling a bit better in yourself x

That is so kind but I’m not very local ! I have ordered some things online so I’ll see if anything fits x 

Ordered some thanks for suggestion x
